Human Rights consensus to condemn the Saudi law record
The condemnation of the black human rights record of the Saudi regime enjoys an international human rights consensus, with repeated condemnation of it in the reports of the United Nations and international organizations.
International and human rights reports condemn the violations of the Saudi and deplore the relentless repression that has taken place in the Kingdom, especially since Muhammad bin Salman took over the mandate of Al-Ad in the summer of 2017.
This included criticism of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, Michel Bachelet, before the United Nations Human Rights Council a few days ago: the absence of freedom of expression and peaceful assembly in the Kingdom, the issuance of unjust judgments against activists, clerics and journalists, and the detention of the Saudi regime activists because of their demand for reform.
For its part, Amnesty International highlighted in a recently released annual report for 2019 that the Saudi regime prohibits the formation of civil associations, uses the courts as a tool to silence mouths and deprives members of the Shiite minority of their rights.
As for Human Rights Watch, the international human rights organization condemned the reality of comprehensive repression against opponents and independent activists in the Kingdom and the arbitrary detention of human rights defenders, highlighting at the same time that the reforms related to women and promoted by the system are formal and did not include the release of detained activists without legal justification.
The Human Rights Foundation also affirmed in its annual report issued a few days ago that the Saudi regime rules with a security grip and intimidation, publishes political prisons, practices brutal torture, absent independent media and prohibits civil institutions.
The same thing was emphasized by the European Saudi Human Rights Organization, which stressed that the kingdom faces the worst reality in recent decades and that tyranny controls the government and crushes any opposition at the time of the executive authority controls the judiciary and prevents its independence.
According to UN reports and the mentioned international organizations and others, the Al Saud regime is committing grave violations, including the prevention of justice in the murder of Jamal Khashoggi, who was killed inside the Kingdom’s consulate in early October 2018.
The Al Saud regime is also implicated in the appalling war crimes against civilians in Yemen, as part of the war that it has waged for more than five years, leaving thousands dead and wounded and turning the country into the worst humanitarian crisis in the world.
